After years of experience and knowledge gained through working in Italian tourism and gaining vast knowledge and experience, I made a wish. I wanted to share my love for languages, travel, and people and my passion for my own region of Umbria. I created “Umbria in Tour” to showcase the best of Italy for everyone to enjoy.

Discover Umbria
Umbria is your ideal holiday destination!
Known as the “Green Heart of Italy” for its geographic location and green rolling hills, Umbria offers something for everyone. Lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. Nature and parks. Cities rich in art and culture. International events and excellent food. Your Umbrian adventure will be truly unforgettable.
Each town has its own unmistakeable identity, the result of thousands of years of civilization. Today’s Umbrians are descended from the Etruscans, Sabines and Romans who ushered in the important Medieval and Renaissance eras.
Farmers transformed the landscape by ploughing and planting olive groves and vineyards for the production of fine oils and wines. Today these same products are the symbols of the region
Umbria is dotted with medieval hamlets and remote monasteries. In just a few kilometers from any town you can find yourself immersed in nature with centuries-old trees, deep caves, and mountains steeped in ancient legends. Small bubbling springs and mountain lakes abound, but also important landmarks like Lake Trasimeno, the Tiber River, and the Marmore Waterfalls define the landscape. They all seem to have been created to inspire painters and poets.
Visit Umbria and fall in love with its rare beauty!
Orvieto is rich in history, art, culture, and ancient traditions
Orvieto is home to one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Italy, known as the Duomo. The cathedral is one of the most majestic creations in Italian architecture, with its magnificent gothic facade decorated with mosaics and bas-reliefs. A splendid rose window by Orcagna catches the light. Among the many works of art inside is a masterpiece of Italian painting dating to the 15th and 16th centuries, the fresco cycle by Fra’ Angelico and Luca Signorelli located in the San Brizio Chapel. Orvieto also offers fascinating Etruscan archeological sites and necropolises, and its art and cultural heritage is one of the richest in Italy.
Monuments
The town’s most representative civic buildings include the Palazzo Comunale, Palazzo del Popolo, Palazzo dei Sette and two towers – the Torre del Moro and the Torre di Maurizio. Palazzo Faina is home to the Archeological and Civic Museum, while Palazzo dei Papi , the Emilio Greco Museum and the Luigi Mancinelli Municipal Theater dot the city’s main piazzas. A unique experience is a visit to St. Patrick’s Well 62 meters underground. The well has two separate spiral staircases that allowed people to go down to draw water without bumping into those coming back up.
